Everything You Want

Chapter 2:

Fighting Temptation

 

 

 

“Oh, God! Cole! Don't stop!” Bella moaned and shivered as he ran his tongue over the junction between her neck and ear. Leaning up to capture her lips with his own, Cole nipped at her bottom lip, begging for entrance into the sweet recesses of her mouth.

 

It was Cole's turn to moan when not only did Bella part her lips to allow his tongue to battle with hers, but also began to run her small hands down his broad chest to gently massage the rippling muscles of his abdomen.

 

Tearing his lips away from hers, Cole groaned and felt his erection grow to almost painful proportions at the exquisite torture of Bella's long fingers caressing his lower stomach.

 

Unable to take it anymore, Cole gently removed her hands to hold them above her head as he trailed butterfly kisses across the sensitive skin of her neck. Throwing her head back and gasping, Bella grinded her hips into his as she tried desperately to free her hands.

 

“Mmmm, none of that baby,” Cole murmured as he continued his kisses down to her left breast. Capturing the already hard nipple into his mouth, he licked and sucked it as Bella moaned and squirmed beneath him.

 

“Please, oh God, Cole…” Bella begged as he ran his free hand down her flat tummy and into the golden curls that covered her hot, wet cavern. She let out a loud whimper as he slid his longest digit into her and initiated a slow thrusting.

 

“Ohhhh… please! Just take me, Cole! I can't stand this! I want you inside me now!” Unable to refuse her request, Cole removed his finger from her wetness and slid up her body, moving himself into position to thrust deeply within her.

 

Bella gazed up at him through lust filled eyes, and beckoned him closer with her finger. Cole steadied himself on his knees at her entrance and leaned down to hear what Bella had to say.

 

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!!!!

 

“What the fuck?!” Cole shouted as he shot straight up in bed and gazed disbelievingly at the offending object making all the racket beside him on the table.

 

Reaching over and slapping the snooze button on the alarm clock that read four AM, Cole flopped back onto the bed and attempted to ease the after effects of his erotic dream.

 

`This one was so much worse than the others,' he thought as he ran a slightly trembling hand through his damp hair. Flinging the heavy blanket from his tense, sweat soaked body, Cole swung his legs off of the bed and headed towards the bathroom, stripping out of his boxers as he went.

 

`These dreams are going to kill me,' he grumbled as he stepped into the shower and twisted the knob labeled COLD as far as it would go. Hissing as the icy water hammered down upon his overheated body; Cole lightly thumped his head on the side of the shower and sighed.

 

`I could handle the dreams where we were just kissing, but this… How can I possibly face Bella without wanting to kiss her sweet lips and run my hands all over her smooth skin…'

 

“You are going straight to hell, buddy,” he muttered to himself, picking up the bar of soap on the ledge beside him and smoothing it across the planes of his chest.

 

Letting the cold spray do its' job, Cole leaned his head back and screwed his eyes shut trying to dispel the image of Bella moaning beneath him from his mind.

 

`What is wrong with me?' He asked himself for the billionth time, `Why all of a sudden am I having these urges towards her? It's not like I haven't seen her damn near every day for the last fourteen years of my life.'

 

Completely disgusted with himself, Cole turned the water off and stepped out of the shower. Yanking a towel from the cupboard and quickly patting himself dry, he slung the towel around his waist and headed down the hall towards his bedroom in search of clothing. Banging the door to his room open with his foot, Cole froze at the sight before him.

 

`Am I still dreaming?' He wondered wildly to himself as he drank in Bella's figure outstretched on his bed.

 

His eyes greedily ate up the expanse of skin revealed by her short skirt and the gentle rise of her breasts as they rose and fell with her every breath. Not quite believing what he saw, Cole moved closer to the bed and in the process kicked a cereal bowl sitting haphazardly in the middle of his floor.

 

“Ow! Son of a…” Cole muttered as he rubbed his abused toes. At his muffled cursing, Bella's eyes opened groggily and she started to giggle.

 

“Ya know, that wouldn't happen if you would clean up your room once in a while, you pig,” she commented as she sat up and grinned at him.

 

`Nope, definitely not a dream. Dream Bella would never say something like that. In fact, dream Bella never says much of anything, other than “Oh God!” and “Don't stop!” along with the moaning and…Straight to hell. I'm going straight to hell...'

 

Cole grunted and dropped his foot back onto the ground. “Yeah well, not everyone is a neat freak like you, Bella,” he responded as he hitched his towel higher on his hips. “What are you doing here, anyway?”

 

“Ugh, I swear you would forget your freaking head if it wasn't attached to your neck!” Observing his blank expression, Bella sighed and pushed herself off the bed, the motion causing her already short skirt to ride up and expose more of her upper thighs.

 

Cole bit back a whine and fought to control the reaction her body was having on him. Not noticing the strained look on his face because of her irritation, Bella strode over to where he was standing and flicked his nose.

 

“Today is Sunday, Cole. Don't you remember what you and I have to do?” Bella questioned as Cole desperately tried to ignore the proximity of her body so close to his and focus.

 

“Um… Sunday… Hmmmm…” he mumbled as he took a step back in order to curb his desire to throw her down on the floor and ravish her on the spot. Something clicked in his mind and he looked guiltily up at Bella.

 

“Oh, shit! Is that today?” At her nod Cole frowned and stepped around her to grab a pair of jeans off the floor. “Dammit, Bella, I'm sorry. I swear I didn't forget, I've just… had a lot on my mind.”

 

“It's ok, why do you think I'm here? I know you better than I know myself, loser!” Cole grinned at that and relaxed into the all too familiar banter.

 

“Loser, huh? Who's the one that thought Asian and Japanese music were two different genres?” Cole teased as he snatched a t-shirt off the top of his cluttered dresser and headed towards the door.

 

Bella sputtered and glared at him, “Shut up! You promised you wouldn't mention that again!” Cole just smirked and started down the hallway towards the bathroom.

 

“Noooo, I promised I wouldn't mention it to anybody else. I said nothing about not teasing you mercilessly with your stupidity.” With that parting comment, Cole shut the bathroom door in Bella's outraged face and chuckled.

 

“You're so mean to me,” Bella whined as she slumped against the bathroom door. “Tell me again why I put up with you?”

 

“Because I'm gorgeous and talented and you don't know what you would do without my intelligent and witty repartee,” Cole replied as he pulled his jeans over his tapered hips.

 

“Uh-huh, that's it…” Bella rolled her eyes and thought back to his comment from earlier. “So, care to share what your mind has been so occupied with lately?”

 

~FLASHBACK~

 

“Oh, God! Cole! Don't stop!” Bella moaned and shivered as he ran his tongue over the junction between her neck and ear. Leaning up to capture her lips with his own, Cole nipped at her bottom lip, begging for entrance into the sweet recesses of her mouth.

 

~END FLASHBACK~

 

Cole's whole body shuddered and his belly churned with desire at the thought of Bella's hot, nude body beneath his own and the sound of her gasps and sighs of passion.

 

“Don't worry about it, love,” he replied, “It's not important.” He opened the door and caught Bella as she stumbled into his arms. Fighting the temptation to stroke the span of skin exposed by her short top, Cole gently steadied her and grabbed her hand in his own.

 

“C'mon, let's get going. Don't wanna keep mom waiting any longer than we already have, now do we?” Bella beamed up at him and he winked.

 

“Nope, wouldn't wanna do that…” she murmured as she wrapped an arm around his lean waist and tried to keep up with his long stride.

 

 

 

 

 

 

`What a perfect day,” Bella mused as she relished the cool early morning wind whipping through her hair and inhaled the sweet smells of spring all around her.

 

`The only thing that could make this better would be if you were here to watch the sunrise with Cole and I, momma,” Bella brushed the tear from her cheek and gazed down at the cold, marble stone in front of her.

 

`Katherine Louise Campbell,' it read, `Beloved wife, mother, and daughter. There will never be a day when you are not missed.'

 

Bella sank to the soft, dew covered grass before the tombstone and put a trembling hand upon it. Bringing the fingers of her other hand to her mouth, Bella brushed a kiss to the tips and placed them on the smooth surface.

 

“Hi, momma. It's me, Bella. Happy Birthday! Cole's here with me. We came to watch the sunrise with you,” Bella whispered, her voice cracking and wavering as she tried to control her emotions.

 

Standing directly behind her, Cole tenderly stroked the top of her head and sank down beside her. Pulling her into a one armed embrace, Cole felt her body quiver as she allowed her tears to run freely down her cheeks.

 

Bella turned her face to nuzzle into his neck as she began to sob and let her grief consume her. Cole sat back onto the ground and pulled Bella into his lap as he murmured unintelligible words of comfort into her ear.

 

“I know I said I wasn't going to do this anymore, but,” Bella sobbed as she wrapped her arms tightly around Cole's neck, “I just can't help it! I miss her so damn much! Why did she have to leave me? Why?!”

 

“Shhhh, baby. Cry all you want. I'm here… I'm here,” Cole soothed as he brushed away the long strands of her pale hair matted to her tear stained cheeks. He held her like that until her sobs turned into the occasional sniffle and hiccup and the tension in her body gradually melted away.

 

Taking a deep, shuddering breath Bella raised her head from Cole's shoulder and looked up into his warm green eyes. Leaning forward to place a tender kiss on her forehead, Cole pulled her back into his embrace and moved her so she could see the horizon.

 

“Do you remember when we were kids and we used to stay up all night so we could see the sunrise in the morning?” Cole asked as he threaded his fingers through hers and gave a gentle squeeze.

 

Bella smiled sadly at the memory and nodded. “Yeah, we drank as much pop as we possibly could without throwing up and practically inhaled pixie stix so we could make it through the night without falling asleep. Mom thought we were crazy but she always came out with us when the time came to watch the sun.”

 

“But it was worth it, huh? I remember every single sunrise we watched with her,” Cole said, “And I keep those sunrises locked away along with all the memories of the time she spent with us.”

 

Bella turned slightly in his lap and put her palm on his cheek so his eyes met her own. “Thank you. I don't think I could've done this without you.” Cole smiled softly and covered her hand with his own.

 

“And you'll never have to, because I will always be here when you need me. Never doubt that.” Bella returned his smile with one of her own and turned to gaze out at the rising sun.

 

`So much pain locked up in that small body,” Cole thought to himself as he stroked her hair, `How does she always act so content and carefree with all the turmoil and grief in her heart?'

 

`I will not let this new feelings interfere with our friendship,' Cole vowed, `She needs me to be strong, and that' s what I intend to do.'

 

Ignoring the warmth of her body pressed flush against his own, Cole closed his eyes.

 

`No matter how much I want to be weak and give in…'
